    My first time here! I've driven by a few times but never stopped! Today I came to pick up my too good to go order and ordered an iced latte! Omg the latte was the best one I've ever had! I believe it was honey vanilla or something yummy def a 5 stars! I brought home my treats and tried the croissant it was so so yummy! The menu looks great as well, breakfast and yummy lunch options! The staff was super nice and I will for sure be back again soon! Thank you so much

    Morning Market Bowl $17

    After doing a search on gluten-free food in the area, I came across Dove Cafe. They're located in a medium-sized shopping plaza in RSM, with plenty of free shared parking available. The shopping center is somewhat hidden, meaning that it's not off a main street, so I hope that doesn't prevent future customers from finding them. When I arrived, I was surprised to find how large and beautiful it was inside. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside. Basically you place your order with the cashier or you can use the self kiosk, then you find a seat and they bring the food to you. You do need to pick up your own drinks at the counter though. I ordered the Morning Market Bowl for $17. It came with two organic scrambled eggs, confit tomato, sweet potato, bell pepper, dressed arugula, green onion, avocado, cheddar blend & toast. I asked for gluten free toast, and the owner gladly substituted it for me at no extra charge. I also ordered a hot strawberry matcha. Everything was delicious! The only thing I wish my bowl had was bacon or some type of protein. It was a decent sized dish and I wasn't able to finish it all. The strawberry matcha was perfect - not overly sweet but just enough so you can taste the strawberry flavor. The employees and owner were hard-working and friendly. The inside of the restaurant was clean and modern. I will definitely return to try additional items from their menu!

    We stopped in to Dove Cafe this morning after our lab appointments for a nice relaxing breakfast. We arrived and entered the café and pleasantly greeted by the counter staff. My wife ordered two eggs over medium with toast and I had the Keep it simple with turkey sausage. We also split a cinnamon apple muffin and I had an Americano coffee with OJ while my wife had hot water. The staff were pleasant and professional and brought out our order which was hot and tasty. This was our first visit and we appreciate fresh organic eggs and quality ingredients. The toast, potatoes, turkey patties and muffin were all top shelf. Highly recommended

    Have you ever shared a meal with someone who doesn't have their food yet? Or sat there watching someone eat while your stomach files a formal complaint? It's awkward. That was our breakfast experience today. Marlene and I placed our orders at the counter--she actually ordered first--but somehow only mine made it into the system. After a receipt search and a second swipe of the credit card, a server promised to "rush" her breakfast bowl. Meanwhile, my French Toast--topped with a mountain of whipped cream--was slowly collapsing into sweet despair, so I dove in. And wouldn't you know it? The exact moment I finished, her food arrived. Nothing quite says "romantic breakfast" like synchronized disappointment. To top it off, an employee was hauling Costco-sized supplies--sodas, cups, paper products--through the front entrance like a caffeinated Sherpa. We were also treated to a symphony of clattering metal as fresh silverware was unpacked and sorted on a nearby table. Mood music, I suppose? That said, kudos to whoever designed the space--it's genuinely beautiful. But I'm not a fan of the "order at the counter, juggle your own coffee setup, and hope for timely service" model. If you're going to make guests do part of the work, you really have to bring your A-game with service. Especially around here, where dining options are plentiful and this retail center has a bit of a... reputation. I get that they're new, just a few weeks in, and I truly hope they iron out the wrinkles. The concept has potential--but as of now, the experience doesn't quite match the design.

    Breakfast wrap and Avo toast with salmon.

    Glad to discovered this little neighborhood gem. It's off the beaten path so hope the business survives and thrives. I had the breakfast wrap AKA fancy burrito. It was perfect. Nice that you can opt for other meats if you aren't a red meat eater. I had it with the tri-tip which was tender and yummy. Avocado, mushrooms were also very good. Chips were crisp and fresh. My friend had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and really liked hers as well.

    Breakfast wrap!  Iced vanilla latte!  Yum!

    Good food, great service, and yummy coffee/pastries. Relaxing atmosphere with a lovely decor.

    Morning Market Bowl
    Jeeth W.

    Tucked away in the back of Dove Canyon is this lovely little cafe. The decor inside is very pretty but we loved the spacious outdoor dining, it's quiet and peaceful The sweet girl at the counter, Madison, helped us select vegetarian options for us and they are very flexible with customizing to your needs. Madison also informed about their rewards program and I gladly signed up I had the Morning Market Bowl and my husband had the Le Marcha. Both were delicious. On a friendly note, and my humble opinion, the bowl would have been even better with grains or a side of rice added to it. It's just my preference. I am already planning to go back next week with my daughter. This is a lovely cafe. Very refreshing and relaxing atmosphere. Madison was very sweet and took the time to chat with us and informed that they are updating their menu. I always feel, the staff and workers make a huge difference to any business. Madison sure did.

    Matcha latte with lavender syrup
    Abby Y.

    Super cute cafe with lots of seating! I ordered a matcha latte and added lavender syrup. The matcha was frothy (they used a real chasen/whisk) and the flavor was balanced well!

    Currently it is a soft opening, but lots of people are showing up in anticipation of a new eatery in town. Very French inspired, the interior is beautiful. Lots of couples, babies and dogs. The entire place is incredibly welcoming. The food is delicious. The coffee is great if you like bold or dark coffee options. The menu has lots of choices of coffee selections, and pastries, even some that are gluten free. Highly recommend checking it out.

    Admittedly, I am not a big ice cream person…read more My friends had told me not to try Handel's because if I did, I'd get addicted to it. Completely did not believe them given I tend to choose other types of desserts over ice cream. I finally tried Handel's after years of no interest and I was hooked! It really is so good and has that homemade taste that's hard to find without making it yourself. It's a great spot, the only thing I wish they'd do differently is have descriptions of what the flavors are, either that or put them on display so you can see them. Seems a bit like you have to just guess what each one is.

We came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM, and the whole cafeteria area was essentially empty - other than 3 tables. This would be a GREAT place to study or do some productive work! I ordered the CTM - Cinnamon Toast Matcha. It was DELICIOUS! Who knew how complimentary cinnamon toast crunch would be matcha. I also decided to try the zatar cheese danish which was a different flavor from what I've had, but was so tasty! It's a little pricy, but not more than the cost of other cafes.

We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

We ended up finding an excellent one in Chocolate Bliss. Service here is top notch. We asked for help since it was our first time and were walked through the history of the shop, the source of the chocolates, and the drink menu. We ended up ordering an almond roca latte and a blue matcha (which I believe is really a butterfly tea latte...?). Both drinks were excellent. I really liked the blue matcha - much lighter taste than green matcha. Not too sweet either. Actually, everything I've tasted so far from this shop hasn't been overly sweet, which is great! There is also a tray of free samples of chocolate, which helped inform our decision to buy a slab of salted caramel pecan and 9 individual pieces of chocolate. The slabs they sell by weight and the individual chocolate they sell by box size. We haven't tried them all yet, but so far, really good! We've had the oreo truffle and the pistachio and the saffron pieces. They've also got quite a bit of other items in the shop too!

    Charming vibe, sweet service -- but custom drinks miss the mark…read more Chocolate Bliss is undeniably cute. The decor is cozy and thoughtfully done, and it feels like a place designed for a relaxed dessert-and-coffee moment. The staff is where this place shines. Everyone I interacted with was warm, patient, and genuinely kind. They're knowledgeable about their menu and very open to making custom drinks, which is always appreciated. That said, my experience fell short when it came to execution. I ordered a chocolate mocha, and while they were happy to make it, the result tasted more like watered-down coffee with syrup than a rich, well-balanced mocha. At nearly $9, I was expecting something more indulgent and cohesive. My advice: Chocolate Bliss seems best enjoyed when you stick to their signature or most popular menu items. The atmosphere and service are there -- with more consistency on custom drinks, this could easily become a go-to spot.

The evening before my brother's fiancée's birthday, my parents and I visited the store to order a cake for the celebration. We were assisted by an employee named Aiden. From the beginning, he showed little to no customer service--there was no greeting, friendliness, or engagement during the interaction. Despite this, we continued with the order and specifically requested a fresh cake to be picked up the following day at 3:00 PM. The next day, when my mother and brother went to pick up the cake, my mother noticed that the display cake that had been in the case the previous evening was no longer there. She asked Aiden if the cake he gave them was the display cake. Instead of responding, he simply stared at her and did not answer the question. My brother also noticed the lack of basic customer service and found the interaction very strange and unprofessional. Later that day, we brought the cake home and served it during the celebration. As soon as we cut into it, everyone noticed the cake was very different and tasted horrible. It tasted stale and dry. The strawberries were very mushy and smelled spoiled. None of us finished our cake slices and still have a large portion remaining. The following day, I called the store to explain the situation. A female employee answered the phone and told me she was busy with customers but would call me back shortly to sort out the issue. About 30 minutes later, I received a call back, and it was Aiden again. I explained everything that happened, but once again he showed no concern, empathy, or professionalism. When I asked about my mother's question regarding whether the cake was the display cake, he claimed he "didn't hear" her question. He did not apologize for the experience and simply offered a free slice of cake as compensation. My family and I have purchased cakes from this location several times before and have always enjoyed both the quality of the cakes and the customer service. In fact, my family has owned restaurants and businesses ourselves, so we understand very well how important customer service and quality are in the hospitality industry. This is not the way customers should be treated, which is why this experience was so disappointing to us. This is the first time we have ever had to complain. We were very surprised that a cake we specifically requested to be fresh tasted bad and have been displayed for days. Aiden also mentioned that cakes and pastries can remain out for up to two days, which was concerning given the quality we experienced. We truly loved this location and had always enjoyed coming here in the past. Unfortunately, what could have been a small issue turned into a very negative experience due to the lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care from the manager on duty. Because of this experience, my family and I will no longer be returning to this location in the future. I hope this issue can be addressed so other customers do not experience the same situation.

    Despite all the negative reviews I decided to try Cookie Plug since my family and I love cookies!…read more The cookies here are big and thick almost like hockey pucks. Seriously at first I mistakenly thought the name of the store was Cookie Puck (instead of plug) Lol!! It would be a fitting name. When I arrived around 4:30pm (they open at noon) they still had all their flavors and the cookies were fresh being baked that day. The cookie style here is a soft, thick buttery cookie. Some reviews complain about the grease And that's a fair critique since all my cookies were a bit greasy - but that's from all the butter inside them which also makes them soft. If you ask (when I was here the employee protectively offered) they will warm up the cookies for you in the oven which gives them an ooey gooey taste which was amazing! They also have a fridge of drinks like milk & chocolate milk. The best part about Cookie Plug is the unique variety of cookies. I got the S'mores (called Firecracker even though there's nothing spicy about it), a Red Velvet Oreo stuffed cookie called Good Luv and The Pink Elephant which is Strawberry Cheesecake favored and ended up being my favorite despite me traditionally preferring S'mores cookies. Overall I'd give the cookie taste a 3.5. The cookies are 600 calories each and cost $5 a cookie which is a gut punch x2! They do have specials and I got a 4 pack of cookies for $17. Too bad there's no bulk discount on the calories!!! Will Cookie Plug replace Milk & Cookies as my top cookie store in OC? No! But at the same time, I don't think it deserves the low reviews as the cookies are good (albeit not great), the ambiance is fun & hip and the service was friendly!
